Primus - American Life

Tabbed by Chris Norwood.

I noticed that all the tabs for American Life are wrong, most likely
including this one, and I wanted to get Primus fans one step closer to
the true tab.  The most important thing needed to know when playing
this song is the rythym.  In my tab, the 3 on the E string and the 0s
on the A string make up the base rythym. Between the 3 and the first
0, the notes are triplets. In the second space, they are double timed
triplets.

P-pull off     H- hammer on     S-slap
                          {Double Time}
Main:    {3}          {3}           {3}
|-----0-x--x-------0-x--x---------------------0-x--x------x--x--x--|

I know this tab is not correct, but it is better than the ones posted.
